Education & consulting for a more accessible, consent-centered world
I’m Laura Millar, a public health professional, sociologist, and sexologist. I offer sexual health education, community organizing, and consulting grounded in disability justice, consent, and equitable access.
Five connected ways to create change
Health is shaped by our relationships, communities, organizations, policies, and access to care. My health promotion approach connects these areas, supporting individuals while addressing the conditions around them.
I organize my offerings around the five action areas of the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion. Disability justice, consent culture, and sexual health inform how I put this framework into practice. You can work with me in one area, or we can combine approaches when a challenge calls for changes at several levels.
Education & Coaching
For individuals, partners, and groups seeking sexual health education. Explore bodies, pleasure, relationships, safer sex, consent, disability, and self-advocacy through education and coaching.
Health promotion: developing personal skills.
Organizational Training & Consulting
For schools, nonprofits, and professional teams. Strengthen access, consent culture, leadership, and everyday practice through workshops, coaching, and consultation.
Health promotion: creating supportive environments.
Community Engagement & Collaboration
For community groups, organizers, and collaborating organizations. Bring people together for learning, partnerships, advocacy, and shared action.
Health promotion: strengthening community action.
Policy & Systems Change
For organizations, researchers, and advocates. Review policies, programs, research, and educational materials to identify barriers and develop practical recommendations.
Health promotion: building healthy public policy.
Health Services & Accessibility
For healthcare providers, public health teams, and support services. Improve access to health and sexual health information, informed choices, and respectful care.
Health promotion: reorienting health services.
How I approach the work
My work brings public health and sexology together with disability justice, blind positivity, and sex positivity. I pay attention to power, consent, and the conditions that shape people’s choices.
Cultural humility means listening, examining assumptions, and learning from the people involved. Consent culture means making room for questions, boundaries, different choices, and accountability. Disability justice means addressing barriers together and respecting the knowledge and leadership of people most affected.
There is room here for pleasure, curiosity, humor, and belonging, alongside serious work on policies, programs, and everyday practice.
Meet Laura

I was named the 2025 Carrie Buck Distinguished Fellow at the Lurie Institute for Disability Policy, Brandeis University.
My experience includes coordinating sexual health programming at LightHouse, training educators, community research on blind people’s sexuality and access, and initiating a tactile anatomy project with UC Berkeley designers.

- What Public Health Can Learn from Disability Justice
Blind community changed how I understood myself and my work in public health. In this lecture for Indiana University students, I explore ableism, access, autonomy, and what disability justice can teach our classrooms, clinics, and organizations. - Our Lives Cannot Wait: California’s Rehabilitation Waitlist and Blind Community Advocacy
California’s rehabilitation waitlist affects education, employment, health, and daily life. Watch our September 14 fireside conversation about Order of Selection, learn from blind advocates, and find ways to take action and support NFB of California.
Support this work
I hold master’s degrees in public health and human sexuality. Much of my work happens at the margins, alongside people whose bodies, experiences, and needs are too often overlooked.
That work draws on professional training, lived experience, and love for my communities. Much of it is grassroots and unpaid. Your support helps sustain the time and care I put into education, writing, advocacy, and community organizing.
Sponsor an introductory consent class
You can sponsor an introductory consent session for a school for blind students, teachers of blind students, or parents of blind children at $150 per teaching hour. Consent 101 is a one-hour workshop. Other introductory topics include consent in everyday situations and consent across the lifespan. This sponsorship rate applies only to introductory consent sessions. Other workshops and trainings are priced separately.
Choose a school or group, or ask me to match your sponsorship with one on my waiting list. Schools and groups can contact me to join the waiting list. We confirm the recipient, topic, and arrangements together before payment.
Nonprofits can also book these introductory consent sessions directly at $150 per teaching hour, or contact me to discuss other arrangements.
Gift or sponsor coaching
You can also gift or sponsor a coaching package. Contact me to arrange the number of sessions and cost. The recipient chooses whether to participate and what they want to work on.
Build funding together
We can also explore grant opportunities and collaborate on raising funds to support education or coaching for your school, group, or community.
Arrange a sponsorship, coaching gift, or funding conversation.

Why a clitoris with a cane?
My logo brings blind positivity and sex positivity together. The clitoris represents pleasure and bodily autonomy. The white cane represents blind identity and access. Together, they reflect my work toward cultures where disabled people’s bodies, choices, and desires are respected.
Teaching with a three-dimensional model of the clitoris showed me how many people, blind and sighted, had never encountered its full anatomy. That experience inspired a logo that makes room for curiosity, accessible education, and a little playfulness.
